The problem with chasing the latest trend is that you're *always* 
changing and it's change for change sake. Yes the website needs 
an overhaul but i honestly think it can be done to look fresh and 
current, respecting the current D logo and identity (using reds) 
and as Walter said to serve developers with accurate and well 
presented text.

The 'new' design by w0rp (http://w0rp.com:8010/) does none of 
those things. He's well intentioned but even things like basic 
text layout and white space usage are completely lacking.

We can do better.
